Vermut

It's a sheer impossibility that at this place you won't find a vermouth to your liking. The list of Catalan varieties, both white and red, is long, which means there really is no excuse! The extensive experience of owner Guille in other gastronomic establishments inspired him to open this bar in Roses that specialises in the drink known locally as 'vermut'. To accompany the drink and avoid too much alcohol on an empty stomach, he also serves a range of quality sandwiches and tapas. The 'special' sandwich, with pork, Brie and caramelised onion, will let you cope with two or three glasses of vermouth at least. You should definitely try the 'seitons', anchovy fillets in vinegar, which are served with crisps and garlic-and-parsley oil. Don't miss the black cod fritters either ('bunyols de bacallà negres), with squid ink and garlic mayo ('allioli'). The 'esqueixada' (cod squid salad) is a dish to fall in love with: it has appetising pieces of cod, diced onion and tomato, and a good slug of oil. In the summer, enjoy your vermouth at one of the outdoor tables; there's no better way to enjoy an al fresco aperitif!
